Paul Hollywood has told everyone to stop being mean about Bake Off because Mary Berry won’t like it.

Tonight’s controversial episode of Great British Bake Off has truly trounced all other episodes – and to think you thought custard-gate was bad.

This week bearded baker Iain Watters was sent packing when he failed to deliver on the Baked Alaska front after chucking his efforts in the bin.

However, it seemed to viewers that Paul and Mary’s ruling was a little bit unfair considering his ice-cream filling had been sabotaged by fellow baker Diana Beard, who had taken his ice-cream out of the freezer while it was setting.
